Interviewer The person(s) performing the interview Kaylee Hartigan-Go Interviewee The person(s) being interviewed Catherine Hartigan-Go Location The location of the interview Manila, Philippines Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound Kaylee: We touched on this idea already, that Noli Me Tángere and its sequel, El Filibusterismo, are an irreplaceable part of Philippine history and literature. And like you said, Jose Rizal is our national hero because the novels he wrote had such a profound impact on the Filipino people who were being abused under Spanish colonial rule. And his works almost directly helped incite the revolution, the rebellion. I guess — do you think your experience learning it in school did justice in reflecting its importance and significance, and the magnitude of the story? If so, in what ways do you think? Catherine: [0:56] Because we learned the whole thing, and we did it in such a thorough manner, you could really imagine what it was like, in those days. And you would find yourself getting incensed on behalf of the characters in the book. You literally could put yourself in the story and imagine all these things happening. So yeah, I think it really — the way I learned it really does justice to the work. And I actually think it stands up quite well. You could say that there are circumstances, even now, where a book like this might also still cause people to think of going against the establishment. If you can imagine the history then — but even now, in this current situation in history, there have been times when this can still cause people to think about going against oppression, going against an unjust government. So yeah, I think the legacy of José Rizal still stands.
